Easily one of the most skilled and talented kids on the roster, Lewis has a bag of tricks like no other. The confidence, the walk, the swag.. all of it is backed up in her play. She’s aggressive on both sides of the ball, she can be your main scorer or facilitator. She plays for a high school that went undefeated in the regular season.. and she was a key part in that. In only her 2nd year in the state, Lewis has made a huge name for herself.
The versatility of Ellis can’t go unrecognized. Her ability to blend in any situation,but still be a stand out is what all college programs need. On both ends of the court the kid gives you her all, she doesn’t quit, she doesn’t stop. Defensively, she’s a menace and can guard multiple positions.. Offensively she can score at all levels.. but doesn’t overdue it. She scores within the offense. A talented kid who is going to be a key piece for a program.
Sincere plays much bigger than what she’s listed, and she’s much stronger than what she appears to be. She knows how to score around and in the paint, and also has the strong IQ to make plays in that low area as well. She’s energetic, attentive and just locked in. You can tell from afar that she just truly loves to play the game.. and when you come across players like that, they can forsure change a team for the better.
Highlights
Kearra Jones
Kearra Jones
Jones had a stretch of 10 games where she finished with … 18pts & 10Reb, 13pts & 10 Reb, 20pts & 10Reb, 14pts & 10 Reb, 19pts & 10 Reb, 14pts & 10 Reb, 21pts & 10 Reb, 26pts & 14 Reb, and 18pts & 15 Reb.. That is nothing but consistency and energy, and that’s what Kearra brings to the table. She is relentless on the boards, strong in the paint, and can score within the offense with no issue. Her upside is high, and that’s due to clear skillset that she is, but also the high motor that is evident as well. Every program needs a kid who just wants to contribute in any way possible.
